You’ve got problems with your rewrite rules; wp assumes that it’s meant to be a wordpress page, can’t find it and therefore goes wrong. Not sure how to fix it, but I’m sure someone is.

No folders are actually created in making new forums, by the way. Your forums are being created, you just can’t access them right now.

BG: bbsync, avatar upload and some custom code. If you want some help doing it, just start a new topic.

There’s a bizarre flash for me while loading where the footer moves from next to the sidebar to underneath it all. Is that related?

The footer seems fine normally though, and has the clear: both; rule attached so I don’t see why it would be a problem?

[betwixt]

hmmm thanks for the tip. I’m not going to redesign it all myself. I just don’t have the time to get down and dirty with this code/stylesheets.

I currently use different K2 themes… Actually I don’t mind the forum having another theme… What I do want, is a button in the header of my wordpress site pointing to the forum…. Any idea?

Regards,

I am creating a few new bbPress themes and would like to add a couple sidebars to them. Is the PHP include function the best way to do this?

(example: <?php include 'sidebar.php'; ?>)

It’s what I have been using and it works. But I would like to know if there is a bbPress tag out there that does the same thing.

Thanks in advance.

[chrishajer]

I didn’t think you could put bbPress and WordPress in the same folder.

$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

$bb->wp_home = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

$bb->wp_siteurl = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test’;

And http://areamom.com/test/ points to a WordPress installation. So, where’s the bbPress? I did find this:

http://areamom.com/test/bbpress/ which results in this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/areamomc/public_html/test/bbpress/config.php on line 29

That’s right after the mod_rewrite line in the config. Maybe you have an extra single quote there or you forgot the semi-colon in your config? Oh yeah, check this:

$bb->mod_rewrite = false <– no semi-colon.

That means this you should add the semicolon to the mod_rewrite line line and then this line should be changed:

`$bb->uri = ‘http://www.areamom.com/test/bbpress&#8217;;

I suggest you move to other hosting providers.

I checked few sites on your hosting server (using http://www.myipneighbors.com/ to find out), they are inserted the same code.

Hope you can get refund!

At the end of your pages, after the closing HTML tag there is an additional script and an iframe.

This code is not in the download tarballs, so it seems the code has been injected on your site only. You should contact your web host for assistance as your service may have been compromised.

I got this [http://slamlander.caselle-vpn.net/?p=21] :

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at C:InetpubVwebSlamlanderwikiextensionsAuthPress.php:352) in C:InetpubVwebSlamlanderwikiincludesWebResponse.php on line 11

What I did:

On current install on integrated WP and BBP, added a “wiki/” directory and unpacked mediawiki 1.10.1 there, ran the install, and used the same DB. The wiki, at this time works stand-alone. What’s happening here is a version incompatibility issue, methinks, betwixt Authpress and MediaWiki. There are some code structure changes from 1.9.x to 1.10.1 but I don’t know what they were.

I do know one thing, no one has submitted this to the MediaWiki team, why not? I should have been able to download it from there and I could even get help from them, if it were submitted.

Trac is generally very coder oriented. I’m not a coder but I can keep up sometimes. I can apply the patch to the file and then send you the updated files, maybe that will work. Or if you have access to a linux system, patch is the name of an executable that will most likely already be installed.

[chrishajer]

The best way I know is with a linux system to use the patch command. If you don’t have access to that program, I could patch the file and email it for you. Or you could download a later release where the problem is already fixed. Check my profile for contact information if you need help.

There were other solutions as well in this post:

https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installing-bbpress?replies=14#post-11787

Did you try anything else?

[openartist]

So I read that another workaround is to overwrite /bb-includes/db-mysqli.php with /bb-includes/db.php . What does that mean exactly and how do I do that? The problem I find with these instructions is that it assumes a lot of knowledge on the part of the user to know coder-speak. I know I could do it but I just don’t know what I need to do.

But other people say that when they apply 745c.diff their problems go away, so perhaps I should just figure out how to apply that patch. But first I need to be able to understand how to do that…any help?

[kjted]

Thank you It’s starting to get full of stars now. It’s been up for a couple of months now.

[chrishajer]

It’s not in the config that I know of, but you can look at bb-includes/capabilities.php and find 'edit_others_tags' and 'edit_tags' – I think you could edit the capabilities to allow members those two functions. I’m not sure if there’s a plugin that allows the same thing or not. That would be a modification to a core file which is a bad thing in general. You lose that modification if you ever update your bbPress installation.

I would not take my advice to edit capabilities.php and would instead look for a plugin that will allow you to change the capabilities of a member.

[openartist]

Okay, so do I need to apply this whole patch somehow? I clicked on 745c.diff and got a bunch of code I don’t know what to do with, how am I meant to patch this properly?

[chrishajer]

These are how the 3 lines look before any customization (I took the comments out):

$bb->wp_table_prefix = '';

$bb->wp_home = '';

$bb->wp_siteurl = '';

Yours might look like:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

$bb->wp_home = 'http://jackhammr.org';

$bb->wp_siteurl = 'http://jackhammr.org';

when you’re done.

[chrishajer]

I think this line is the problem:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_;$bb->wp_home';

That should be something like:

$bb->wp_table_prefix = 'wp_';

and

$bb->wp_home = 'http://jackhammr.org';

Somehow you got part of the 2nd line onto the end of the first line. Fixing that will fix your problem.

[chrishajer]

You changed the installation from forums to bbpress, but you didn’t make the change in the config.php. So, your forum is at http://www.reviewsaurus.com/bbpress/, but the config has $bb->uri = 'http://www.reviewsaurus.com/forums/'; You need to change one or the other (either the folder name or the URI in the config) for it to work.

As proof, I can see http://www.reviewsaurus.com/bbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css just fine.

[chrishajer]

In your config.php, you have to set mod_rewrite to false (not true or slugs):

$bb->mod_rewrite = false;

Your server does not support pretty permalinks, at least not as it’s configured now. You can figure that part out later (if you’re on godaddy, it might never work.) But for now, to get a working forum, change mod_rewrite to false and your links will work.

[chgogrrl99]

Thanks for responding Chris,

I haven’t yet made up my mind which way to go. My gut tells me that bbPress is better long-term. I’m also guessing that if my forum gets popular, bbPress might be better – in other words I’m thinking that a plugin might do the trick if the forum is doesn’t see much action, but that I might need something more powerful if it gets busy.

I’m pretty sure I can get bbPress installed, I’m now most concerned with integration, pretty perma-links ect. Making new files, adding and deleting code scares me.

[benbeltran]

yeah. I actually tried that, but It didn’t recognize any functions. . Even tried including the functions, template-functions, pluggable, etc files on their own. Still nothing.

And I tried searching for the cookie parameters, but I’m dumb and I was sleepy, couldn’t do a thing.

[chrishajer]

> using wordpress would work and that’s a good thought,

> but I would have to customize it quite a bit I think…?

No, not at all. Find a theme you like, create a static page, make that your home page, strip out the stuff you don’t want in the sidebar (for archives, pages, categories, search, blogroll, meta, etc) and that’s it. One topic with comments.

Or, a guestbook

[bbpressfriend]

Copy&Paste in a .htaccess:

DirectoryIndex /forum/topic.php?id=20

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} /forum/index.html

RewriteRule (.*) /forum/topic.php?id=20 [L]

Now (sorry for my bad english, im german) the topic is your forum-frontpage.. (dont forget to delete the “New Topic” links).

quick&dirty

[fel64]

You can always load bbpress and then check, by:

require_once( 'path/to/bb-load.php' );

Otherwise you could check if the cookie is set and has a password parameter. You won’t be able to check if it’s a correct password, of course.

[benbeltran]

Will the thread be changing? or is it just constant? If it’s constant, you definitely want a guestbook
